  • ALGERIA Date of Elections: 5 March 1982 Purpose of Elections
    ALGERIA Date of Elections: 5 March 1982 Purpose of Elections Elections were held for all the seats in Parliament on the expiry of its prescribed term of office. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Algeria, the National People's Assembly, is composed of 282 Deputies elected for 5 years. Electoral System All Algerian citizens of at least 18 years of age are entitled to vote if they are in full possession of their civil and political rights. Electoral registers are compiled on the level of the municipality; they are deemed permanent and are revised annually. Voting is not compulsory. Proxy voting is permitted for certain categories of electors, such as those residing abroad or confined due to illness, and members of the armed forces. All qualified electors who are at least 28 years old* are eligible to be elected to the National People's Assembly. Ineligible-while they hold office and for one year thereafter-are certain party officials, certain public officials at the wilaya (department) and daira (constituency) level, judges, and members of the armed and police forces. The parliamentary mandate is incompatible with certain public posts held in the same constituency in which the Deputy is elected, membership of the armed or police forces, as well as with membership of another popular assembly. All candidates are nominated by the country's National Liberation Front (FLN). Three times as many candidates as there are seats to be filled are designated in all electoral constituencies. The 282 Deputies are elected in 160 constitutencies by the party-list simple majority system.

  • Report on Parliamentary Involvement in International Affairs
    Parliamentary Involvement in International Affairs A report by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to the Second World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments New York, 7-9 September, 2005 - 2 - PARLIAMENTARY INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Foreword When Speakers of parliaments met for the first time in a world conference of its kind in September 2000, they adopted a solemn declaration1 that called for greater involvement of parliaments in international affairs. Gone were they days, they stated, when politics was a purely domestic business, if ever it had been. Whether they wanted to or not, legislatures everywhere were under mounting pressure to debate an ever more transnational agenda. Parliaments simply had no choice but to engage in multilateral negotiations, if only because the responsibility fell squarely on their shoulders when it came to enacting the results into domestic law. If their place in international affairs was no longer open to dispute, the procedures whereby parliaments brought their influence to bear in the international arena continued to vary widely. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the convenor of the 2000 Conference, was keen to discover whether behind the intricate strands there was a single pattern. In 2004, the organization put a number of questions to Speakers of parliaments throughout the world in order to find out to what extent and in what manner their parliaments had become involved in international affairs, in keeping with the millennium pledge. 2 The report that follows is a compilation of the responses. The survey has shown that almost all parliaments - in developed and developing countries alike - have unique experiences to share in respect of their involvement in international affairs.

  • Social Networks and Elections in the Arab World Ellen Lust Executive
    Social Networks and Elections in the Arab World Ellen Lust Executive Summary This report focuses on the relationship between social networks and electoral politics, emphasizing that the organization of social networks plays a large role in shaping electoral behavior. Instead of viewing elections as one-to-one exchanges of votes (present or future) for goods, we must understand them as one of many exchanges made within a web of relationships determined by social networks and communal social obligations. Development specialists and policymakers too often emphasize the role of political actors and institutions when it comes to programming across the electoral cycle, overlooking the fact that social networks influence the process. Social and political spheres are intricately linked. This report explores how social networks influence political competition across the electoral cycle primarily through evaluating electoral process in the Arab world (emphasis on Egypt, Jordan, Libya, and Tunisia) under authoritarian and transitional regimes. As social networks shape elections, elections subsequently influence social arrangements. Although this report draws examples from the Arab world, the confluence of political and social realms is also prevalent in Western countries. Societal Organization and Social Networks Social networks may be based on kith-and-kin relations (family and tribe), religious connections, geographical localities as well as economic ties. Organization of social networks can be defined based on three characteristics: breadth, the number of connects an individual may have; density, the extent to which individuals engage with others; and hierarchy, the role that authority plays in these connections. The nature of networks shapes the relationship between individuals and political elites, and ultimately combines with political institutions to influence electoral behavior.

KEYWORDS fi While expectations grew that it would play a signi cant role in the Myanmar; legislature; transition from military to quasi-civilian rule, including managing Buddhism; Islam; communal ethnic conflicts, its reluctance to tackle sectarian violence repre- conflict sented a major setback for the legislature’s credibility. Using leg- islative records and interviews, this article provides a detailed empirical study of how Myanmar’s legislature and its lawmakers responded to these ethnic conflicts, both inside and outside the chamber. Building on studies of the role of legislatures in conflict management, this article argues that while Myanmar’s legislature could have responded more proactively, at the very least it pre- vented itself from becoming a forum for populist politics that could have further inflamed tensions. Myanmar has experienced unprecedented political and economic change led by military and military-backed actors. One important change in the transition from military to quasi-civilian rule was the establishment of a national legislature in 2011 and its role as a check and balance on the executive that also responded to public concerns (see Fink 2015, 327; ICG 2013b, 1).1 The transition has severely tested this new institution.

As part of the 2011 reporting exercise, 51 Member Parliaments and one Associate Member (PACE) met this statutory obligation. This corresponds to 31.48% of the IPU membership, a slight decrease compared to the 56 substantive reports received last year (39 reports in 2010). Overall, the response rate remains low, well below the expectations set forth in the new IPU Strategy, Better parliaments, stronger democracies, which underscores the need for enhanced follow-up and implementation of IPU recommendations. The IPU Secretariat proposes therefore to work more closely with Members with a view to making the reporting exercise a more relevant and worthwhile exercise.
